😔 Troopers: Hunter found dead near Shamokin

[Walleye Hunter]

With a capital H this thread could have been about Joe's son being Clintonized.

I'm not that lucky

40ft is way too high. I highly doubts he even practices at that height.
My friends father died from falling out of a tree he was pruning. Another friends mother died from a falling branch.

Same incident?

From what I got, this is the second time he*s fell out of a tree stand. Every stand manufacturer supplies a safety harness of some sort, use the damn thing. Ground blinds are a lot more comfortable by the way. And always tell someone exactly where you are with a small map drawing, easier to find your broke down ass.

Different incidences at different times. But in the same town.

I invested in a satellite communication device. $25 bucks a month and I can text or share my location with or without cell service. Also comes with weather and a sos feature that calls first responders if activated and gives them your GPS location.

A little extra piece of mind, especially for my wife, when I go out hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.

A friend of mine fell out of a tree stand and broke his leg pretty badly. He learned his lesson and began using a safety harness.

A few years later he once again fell from his stand and was left dangling for quite a few hours until his son found him. At least he didn’t break another leg.

I knew two guys that fell out of their stands. One is now a quadriplegic and the other is ok but needed life flight.
Before climbing stands and whatnot, I used a 2x8 lodged in the crotch of a tree about 20ft up. And that was it,
no tethers or anything because you had to move around to see all around you.
That is how we bow hunted. Imagine knocking an arrow and drawing down on a deer in the wind, in the winter.
Good times.

I've never fallen out of a tree, and I used to climb them like a monkey. It's a lot harder now being older, and carrying a 20 lb papoose.

There's a lot of things I did as a yute, that I wouldn't do now.

I used to ride my XL600 on the street in the snow. Just spinning the back wheel, going through the gears.

That was only if I had it in the basement. That fucker wouldn't kick over if it was under 45 degrees.

Some people go into the woods for the sole purpose of the fact that they cany be found by their wife.
